Sweet and Spicy Lamb Riblets

As I fumbled through my old meal plans thinking and wondering what this week would hold I really had to think. So when I thought about something fun and new to try I suddenly thought, LAMB. It just popped into my mind! I’ve never cooked it before and the thought of it has always made me on the nervous side. It can be overdone so easily, it can become tough and hard to eat. Or it can be beautiful and fall off the bone. It can be glorious and melt in your mouth. This recipe… it melted in our mouths. It made me think I can actually cook lamb! I can officially become a professional chef! (Ha! Just kidding!)

The recipe goes something like this…

Ingredients

Lamb Riblets
1 cup Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
3 slices of chopped Ginger
2 large cloves of Garlic chopped
3 TBSP Honey
2 tsp Chili Flaked
1/4 tsp Salt and Pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400. Cook the sauce ingredients down in a pan till it is thickened.
Once your oven is preheated lay your lamb riblets on a roasting rack and brush with your sauce.
Cook lamb for 30-40 minutes depending on your oven. In 7 minute intervals pull it out and brush with the sauce.
After you have reached perfect temperature (about 145 degrees F) pull out of the oven and coat them again one more time with the sauce.
Serve immediately. Eat and enjoy.

And there you have it! I served these riblets with rice and stir fried broccoli, carrots and sugar snap peas in the leftover lamb sauce. Yum! If you are a fan of lamb or have never attempted lamb before and are always feeling nervous definitely give this recipe a try! And let me know in the comments below how it went!
